With the advancements in AI technology, generating ultra-realistic images using text prompts has become an exciting frontier. The OmnigenXL API, offered by ModelsLab, allows you to create stunning images powered by Stable Diffusion technology with ease. In this guide, we’ll walk you through the steps to get started with the OmnigenXL API, including how to get your API key, and troubleshoot any issues you may face along the way.
Step 1: Get Your API Key
The first step to using the OmnigenXL API is to obtain your API key. Fortunately, this process is straightforward and requires no payment:
- Visit ModelsLab API.
- Sign up or log into your account.
- Navigate to the API section to find your API key.
Step 2: Set Up Your Code
Once you have your API key, it’s time to set up your code. Below is a simplified breakdown of how to send a request to the OmnigenXL API:
import requests
import json
url = "https://modelslab.com/api/v6/images/text2img"
payload = json.dumps({
"key": "your_api_key",
"model_id": "omnigenxl-nsfw-sfw",
"prompt": "ultra realistic close up portrait ((beautiful pale cyberpunk female with heavy black eyeliner)), blue eyes, shaved side haircut, hyper detail...",
"negative_prompt": "painting, extra fingers, mutated hands, poorly drawn face...",
"width": 512,
"height": 512,
"samples": 1,
"num_inference_steps": 30,
"safety_checker": "no",
"enhance_prompt": "yes",
"guidance_scale": 7.5
})
headers = {
"Content-Type": "application/json"
}
response = requests.request("POST", url, headers=headers, data=payload)
print(response.text)
Explaining the Code: An Analogy
Imagine you are a chef creating a special dish. In this scenario:
- The recipe is your **payload** – it includes all the necessary ingredients (data points like API key, model ID, prompt, etc.) that define your dish.
- The kitchen where you cook is the **API endpoint** URL – it’s the place where you send your recipe to get your dish made.
- Your cooking instructions are the **headers**, specifying that the output should be in JSON format.
- Finally, the result is the finished dish, which you can evaluate using the **print(response.text)** line.

Troubleshooting Ideas
If you encounter any issues when using the OmnigenXL API, consider the following:
- Check if your API key is valid and has the correct permissions.
- Ensure that you are using the correct URL and model ID.
- Review your JSON payload for syntax errors or incomplete data.
- If the response returns an error, refer to the API documentation at View docs for error codes and solutions.
